Gui" invention refers to vapor burning stories, and it has for its object toprovide a simple, economical and effective means for temporarily locking a removable fuel tank I and associated parts to the burner andbody of the stove. v a l .lVe are aware of the factthat in this general type of stove it is common practise to, removc the fuel.reservoir and associated 10 parts, and in so doing various types of ibrackets or supportshave beenprovided for the removable unit, whereby said unit must be more or less definitely alined and moved,

or slid. into position upon track members.

,;This common arrangement has been found to. require more or less fine adjustment and accuracy ,in manipulation when the. unit s inserted.-otherwise, a binding effect is produced. a

Our invention contemplates further the pro plishingthe locking featureof the removable unit,;. whereby cost vof=proth ction is materially lessened.

QWith these general objects. in view, the inventionprimarily contemplates an ar rangement whereby'thevapor tube, constituting a part of the reservoir unit, is inserted into the burner from the front of the stove body, and thereafter a fin-lockat the oppo- I site end of the unit is effected to prevent movement or swinging of the unit with a relation to the burner connection.

VViththe above and other minor objectsv .in view, the invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a stove embodying the features of my invention, with parts in section, as indicated by line 1-1 of Figure 2. V

Figure 2 is a cross sectional elevation, the section being indicated by line 22 of Figure 1, it being understood that only such fragmentary parts of the stove are illustrated to define the application of our invention to the same.

Referring bycharac-ters to the drawings, 1-1 indicate the side panels of a stove body, 2 the back panel thereof, and 3, the bottom panel. Secured to the end panels .55 of the stove body is a standard burner head form no of the invention.=

4 of manifold typehaving a a of tips extending therefrom, which tips in practise are adapted tophave'zassoelated therewith. the usual radiant, elements.

Therear panel of theystove has suitably gfittedf thereto a iire-clayback wall 26. The man fold, which .iSf fQf standard-type, .is

provided with alforwardly extended burner ingga vapor inlet orifice 8, and an airintake month 9,. as best. shown in I Figure 1. All of the stove parts,.as above explained and i llustrated, are of standard typeand section 17, which communicates with the ,manifold section, saidburnei.' ,section hay-1:65

, RemovablyQsupported .upon the base alve-controlled generator tube. l li lthat arranged above and parallel with the reser voir. The generator-tube is supported brackets 15 1 5', which brackets are perma nently monnected to the. reservoir and also serve as supportsfor a drip pan 16 which is bpositioned directly under the generator tu e. T e a The side panel 1' of the stove body is formed with a comparatively large aperture 1'. through. which the generator'tube and its associated valve handle 17 are arranged to be passed through when the reservoir unit is assembled in position for functioning.

, or bottom 30f the stove is, a fluid fuel,

reservoir 10 having apairof footbrackets.

As best shown in Figure 2 of the drawings,

the open front of the stove body is preferably provided with a hinged front panel 18, which front panel is swung upwardly from the position shown in Figure 2 when the removablereservoir unit is in its working position, it being understoodthat this front panel is-swung downwardly in the position shown in Figure 2 when it is desired toremove the said unit.

It will be noted that the burner 7, preferably of the Bunsen type, is positioned near one of the end panels, and when it is desired to insert the reservoir unit there is ample end play between the sidepanels of the stove body, whereby the said unit can I be inserted through the front opening of said stove body, while at the same time the valve wheel 17, and itsassociated parts, is inserted through the opening 14 of the panel 1. In this position the feet of the reservoir ll-11" rest-solidly upon the flat bottom 3,. and thereafter "the discharge end 14: of the generator tube is moved towards the burner orifice '8 and inserted therein, as shown in Figure 1. This lateral movement, to 'efi'ect I the locking engagementbetween the gener ator discharge end and burner orifice, is

limited by the bracket 15, which abuts the j'uxtaposedfend wall of the burner. I

After this interlocking connection between the removable unit and the; stove burner is eflected, parallel 'alinement of the removable unit and-theburner is accomplished by a cam indenture 19, whichis formed in the bottom 3. "This indenture having conical or tapered walls, is'f-p ro'vided to be engaged by a conical head of a spring-controlled locking dog 21,-which locking dog is pivotally mounted'uponthe reservoir supporting foot 11'.

Hence, it will" be seen that the reservoir unit is supported by its end and is secured in vits functioning position by the interlock ing connection between the burner and the manifoldat one end, and an interlocking connection between thespring controlled dog and the cam in'denture 19 at'the' other end of the stove. v Owing to this siinplemeansof temporarily aiichoringth'e removable unit, said removable unit can be quickly as'sembled or extracted from the" stove for'filling or repair purposes,and in so doing it will be observed-that no particular accuracy or fine adjustment are necessary to manuallyelfect V the working connection between the said movable reservoir unit, and the fixed stove p r v While we have shown and described a simple exemplificationof our-invention, it is understood that we may vary the structural features ofit Within thescope of the claims.

We claim V 1.. YA stove body having a burner provided with a vaporinlet at one end andv a remov able fluid reservoir unit having a generator tube adapted to engage and interlock with the vapor, burner inlet, and means carried by theres'ervoir for a second interlocking en- .gagement with. a stove body at a point re- I te from the first mentioned interlocking mechanism. 1 V

. 2. A stove body having a burner provided with a vapor inlet and a removable fluid reservoir unit having a generator tube car- .ried thereby for interlocking engagement, supporting feet extending from the reservoir adapted to rest upon thebottom of the stove "body, vand movable means carried by said reservoir for lnterlocking engagement w th gage the burnerv inlet orifice, supporting feet for the reservoir arranged/to rest upon the bottom of the stove body, the saidstove body bottom having an indenture therein, and a dog'c'ar'ried by the reservoir for engagement with the indenture.

In testimony'that' we claim the foregoing -We have hereunto set our hands at Milwaukee in the county of Milwaukee and State "of Wisconsin.
